    This is true. It was always ridiculous that ESPN loved knocking Braves fans for not selling out an NLDS game that took place in the afternoon on a weekday. Especially since the Ted held over 50,000. Hardly any team would sell out a game with that stupid of a time.

    hopefully we close it out today because game 5 would be a tough match-up.

    I'll go on record as saying I'd rather pitch Teheran today, but I don't want to throw a Snit.

    It would be so much more fun to watch the "Super Star" Molina and the "mister respect me" Martinez watch as the Braves celebrate on their field. Imagine the reactions!!
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Yeah Martinez is a striaght up douche. Making a kissing motion to Hamilton then throwing at Acuna (after he had given up the lead no less). Dude is a clown.

    Martinez reminds me of the guy with the Expos Smoltzie mocked many years ago (was that one of Pedro's brothers?), who had been pissing off opponents for years with his antics on the mound, but got mad and pouted when Smoltz struck him out and did his own strikeout movements back at him.

    I dont blame Cards not selling out either, playoff game or not. 3 PM on a workday is gonna be tough to sell out, 7-8 PM sure, this early meh. I agree it's a talking point if it's the Braves though.

    I don't think Freddie could be much worse to start the playoffs this year. Goodness.

    The Cardinals are the luckiest team I've ever seen this series. They're consistently getting bloops going for doubles while we have plays like that. A ball hit right on the nose deflected for a DP. Ugh.

    These announcers are killing me. They just said the Cards 3 and 4 hitters would be the difficult part of the lineup for DK. Really? Their best hitters are the toughest part of the lineup? Great analysis!
